PRESENTING AUTHOR: F Fayet-Moore

• The Australian National Children’s Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (ANCNPAS) did not measure snacking behaviour subjectively or objectively.

• THERE IS NO UNIVERSAL DEFINITION OF SNACKING IN THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE.

h This objective method for assessing snacking behaviour showed SO significantly contributed to total energy and nutrient intake without being associated with BMI z score, waist circumference or physical activity level.

h Children consumed on average 7 EO/d and on average each EO contributed 14% of total energy.

h Both total number of EO and SO decreased with age and no gender differences were found.

h We hope nutrition researchers will adopt this new methodology to objectively measure snacking behaviour so comparisons can be made between studies to assist evidence based recommendations on healthy snacking.

• 3 main meal peaks and between-meal time periods were identified

• Snacking was defined as any food or beverage consumed between main meals.

There is a need for an objective measure of snacking to be developed and adopted for nutrition research.

CONCLUSIONS

“Leaving such a key concept [such as snacking] undefined and merely understood by a common, a priori idea seems to be inappropriate in epidemiological and nutrition research and may affect the accuracy of the information offered as well as the validity of the conclusions proposed”3

There is an inherent bias in how we define ‘snacks’ in the research – usually ‘junk’ or discretionary foods and beverages.

• Salty snacks, cookies, candy bars, candy, pastries and cakes, beef jerky, fruit leather, granola bars, cereal 13

• Filled cakes/sweet snacks, plain cakes, chocolate snacks, sodas 19

• Sweets (chocolates, licorice, candy), cakes and pastry, savoury snacks (fast foods, spring rolls, cheese cubes, party sausages, nuts, crisps) 14

• Ice cream, pies, candy, french fries 20

• Energy-dense nutrient poor foods by failure to belong to major food groups 21

FROM 2007 ANCNPAS

CHILDREN 2-16yo (N=3637)

consumed on weekdays

Were defined as the time periods where large peaks appeared in percentage energy intake and grams of food consumed across the day. As expected there were three main peaks: breakfast (5:30-09:00am), the midday (11:30am-2:00pm) and evening meals (5:00pm-9:00pm).

MAIN MEAL TIME PERIODS

Defined as the time periods between main meal time periods: morning (9:00-11:30am), afternoon (2:00-5:00pm) and late night (9:00pm-5:30am).

BETWEEN MEAL TIME PERIODS

Were defined as all foods and beverages consumed at the same point in time.

EATING OCCASIONS (EO)

Were defined as all EO that occurred during a ‘between meal’ time period.SNACKING OCCASIONS (SO)

Were defined as all eating occasions (EO) that occurred during a main meal time period. MAIN MEALS
